Terms & Conditions
To enter, complete and submit the registration form online. All entries must be received on or before midnight on Thursday 9th April 2026. There is no fee to enter the woman&home Reader Approved Awards. All entrants must complete the online nomination form (one per product entry) and provide contact information to Future Publishing Ltd ('Future'). Companies may enter multiple times for consideration, provided they complete a separate online nomination form for each product entry.
By submitting an entry, entrants commit to the full awards process. If your product is selected as a winner, you will be required to pay a logo licensing fee of £1,000 plus VAT to Future. This fee grants you the right to use the official woman&home Reader Approved Awards winner's badge on your product packaging, marketing materials, and promotional communications for a period of twelve (12) months from the date of the awards announcement. The logo licensing fee is non-refundable once paid.
The award winners will be determined by a panel of judges, including the woman&home beauty team and our tester network, and will be notified by email in May 2026. Products selected for evaluation will be tested by our tester network, who will provide detailed feedback and ratings. Judges' decisions are final. The judges will be looking at all entries individually and may move products into suitable, more refined categories as part of the process. Our editors reserve the right to amend award names to produce the most engaging content for our readership. The categories you choose to enter won't inhibit judging which is intent on rewarding the best products entered.
Future reserves the right to change, merge or delete categories in its absolute discretion and transfer entries in those categories to an alternative category which, in Future's sole opinion, is an appropriate alternative category. Any changes to a category will be communicated to entrants prior to the judging process.
Winners must confirm their acceptance of the award within seven (7) days of notification and must remit payment of the logo licensing fee within fourteen (14) days of receiving an invoice from Future. If a winner fails to pay the licensing fee by the due date, Future reserves the right to withdraw the winner's award and select an alternative winner. By accepting their award, winners consent to Future using their company name, product name, and product images for publicity and promotional purposes in connection with the awards.
